Analogy
◦ The term that means "word relationships” is called
Analogy.
◦ It is like a word puzzle. It always contains two pairs of
words.
◦ It can be abbreviated like stallion : mare :: man : woman.
◦ The single colon (:) represents the phrase “is to”, and the
double colon (::) represents the word “as”.
◦ Thus, it is read a stallion is to mare as man is to woman.
An analogy shows comparison between things
that have similar features, often used to help
explain a principle or idea. The two things
being compared may be completely dissimilar
which still helps you to understand something
about their relationship.
